Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge--Stitch it Up!!

Are you ready for a fun Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge? Our super talented hostess, my sweet friend Pat, has chosen the theme-- Stitching. Here is what I created:

To be honest, I think this would have been perfect for last week's CAS card. LOL But I thought this image, called Queen of Hearts would be fun for the Stitching challenge as I had lots of room to sew.
The image was colored with copic markers and then I used a zip zag stitch to sew the gold layer to the red base. I sewed with a straight stitch and added a zig zag single stitch every once in a while for a little added interest. :) I have my little craft sewing machine right under my desk and just have to lift it up to use it, should do it more often. :)
I kept the embelllishments to a minimum only adding a band of red gingham ribbon and a bow, and my favorite, a fan of tiny playing cards, which were from a deck of cards given to me by one of my daughters. Aren't they cute!!!
Be sure to stop by the Challenge blog and check out the rest of the DT cards and drop by the Digital Pencil Store and check out the darling new Valentine kids Mo has created. Love em.

Hehe! I wondered where you found those cute little mini playing cards!! They're perfect! And so is your card! I love the design...C&S and very fabulous!!! Your coloring is stunning...as always!! You rocked it again, sweet mama! Hugs. Pat Frank

Hi Cathy! I so love this card, it makes me smile and feel somehow nostalgic:) That image is really grandious and those little cards are the perfect addition. Also "perfect" stitching on this one, goes so well with the hilarious image! You did a great job!Have a great week sweetie!HUgs, Iulia

I was chosen for May Center Stage

About Me

Hello, My name is Cathy and I have created this blog for my friends and friends to see what I have created and to showcase my new projects.
I started stamping in 2006 and I don't see myself stopping any time soon. I find it very relaxing and a wonderful way to feel creative and artistic. My theory is that you never outgrow your need to color. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
I love sharing my hobby with my friends and family.
Feel free to comment on the projects that I have posted and let me know if there is anything that you would like to see or have me explain in more detail.
I do not promise to update my blog daily but will try to post daily during the week. The week-ends get a little busy sometimes and although I may create something I don't have time to post.
